Question

Which sentence in the passage is an example of a real-world situation that could restrict Martha’s decisions?
Martha is in her late teens. She lost her father in the war several years ago. Just like her father, Martha wants to join the military and serve her country. However, Martha has several obstacles in her path. Martha’s mother is overly protective of her daughter and has always tried to keep her safe. Also, Martha is still tormented by the memories of the war and her father’s absence. To make matters worse, Martha might not qualify for the military because of her petite and fragile frame.

Answer:

I am confused about the wording of the question...when it asks which reinforces the critical response, doesn't that mean it is asking for a sentence where the author, like Isaac cannot reconcile opposing ideas? I may be reading the question wrong.

Hi Christina,

The question is definitely a bit confusing!

We are looking for a sentence where the author "provides examples that reinforce an argument against a critical response cited earlier in the passage." Let's break this down by working backwards.

"A critical response cited earlier in the passage" means a response to a work, play or piece of art. In this case, it is a response to the book called "Raisin in the Sun." So the critical response that's being referred to is the idea the one made by Isaacs (who believes that there is a division or contrast between Hansberry’s concern for her race and her ideal of human reconciliation).

The question asks us for a sentence that provides examples that reinforce an argument against this critical response. So we want examples that show that this critical response (Isaccs') is not correct. Well, this is done in the very last sentence of the passage. The examples there show (or argue) that Isaccs' is mistaken. So that's the right answer :)

I hope this helps clarify what the question is asking us for! :)
